Read these excerpts from Angel Agnes and The Summer of the Pestilence. Fiction: Angel Agnes For awhile Agnes seemed to be wander

ing, or perhaps she was dreaming; for her eyes were closed as though in slumber, and a smile like she used to smile, flitted over her pale face, as she stretched out her arms to embrace some one. Nonfiction: The Summer of the Pestilence I found that Edmund had come home sick a little while before, with all the symptoms of yellow fever—violent pains in the head and back, a yellow infusion in the eyes, a dark coating down the middle of the tongue, while the edges of the tongue appeared almost raw, and a very rapid pulse. What statement best describes how death is shown in these excerpts? The nonfictional excerpt shows great interest in scientific details. The fictional excerpt shows great character development. The fictional excerpt is more poetic than the nonfictional excerpt. The fictional excerpt has a stronger plot than the nonfictional excerpt.

Answer:

The fictional excerpt is more poetic than the nonfictional excerpt.

Explanation:

In the fictional passage about <em>Angel Agnes</em> from the chapter "Agnes saves a child but dies herself", Agnes is shown in a deep slumber. But the narrative voice uses the words <em>"wandering, or perhaps she was dreaming"</em>, which is poetic and even fairy-tale like. The further description about her appearance provides an image of something more ethereal than a normal, realistic image.

On the other hand,<em> The Summer of the Pestilence</em> provides a historical account of the Yellow fever and the effects it had on man. The passage deals with the realistic, even violent images of the effects of the disease, an unpleasant picture.

The two passages about death are presented in such a way that the fictional work is more poetic than the realistic / non fictional excerpt.

How do the details of the poem present individual Americans? What connections among individuals does the poet Blanco see?
fenix001 [56]

This question is about the poem “One Today” by Richard Blanco.

Answer and Explanation:

1. The poem's details present Americans as workers from the most different sectors, from those who work in professions that we recognize as well as those who build bridges, who make newspapers, who clean tables, among other less admired service workers, but still essential for the country. With that, the poet showed that each American is important in a unique and unique way.

2. In addition to joint cooperation between individuals, the poet recognizes the ability to generate connections, among Americans, through mourning. This can be seen when he refers to the armed massacres that took place in schools and caused the death of many children. The mourning of the children's families establishes a connection with the whole country, which is also in mourning.
